Great experience! The directions to the meeting point were spot on. Great communication prior to the tour and the day of. Our guide was Steve Bush Jr. He was so friendly, kind, accommodating and a great guide! He gave us lots of history and information about the island and its people.

I can’t say enough great things about this tour.

This was the perfect family tour around Roatan island, with wild life experience, a stop to the chocolate factory and many panoramic spots for photos. The driver "Coco" was lovely, very patient and accommodating. We highly recommend Mike Roa tours for their professionalism and competitive prices .
